this makes me feel so human, so connected to others. we have all had our hearts broken, and i cried. and i held empathy for others during this, realising i am not alone. love is the greatest and at the same time can rendure us still.
@irishyop Far from a waste my friend, he has more studio albums than most solo artists and he is forever embedded in the memories of those who know him and those who have yet to discover him as an absolute legend and musical genius. I'm glad he was never polluted by the commercialism of the industry even though he tried to break through it, he had to much heart and soul for such a cold and callus platform.Hendrix was a waste, 'coz he didn't get time to mature.from paddy to another :)
my dad used to play a lot of john martyn and other artists, i seem to learn more about him and me everyday, its a crazy world but yet so beautiful... i gotta get my dividence
what beautiful song...such emotion from from john makes me cry everytime..i just wish i was born 25-30 years earlier so i could witness him in his prime.
This song makes every hair on my body stand on end and the tingle up the back of the neck. The most talented scottish musician i've ever heard. Wish I'd seen the great man live! R.I.P big man knowing your music lives on
I saw him on the Grace & Danger tour in Glasgow 2008 - his last before he died. The whole place was in tears when he sang this, as was I. This is the album that introduced me to him and somehow it seems fitting that he left me 'on that note' too. God love you wherever you are Big Man. RIP.
I did the same for many Months. This song didnt bring Beverly back to John or my girlfriend back to me but to love someone so much is never the less special . we never know what its all good for. Chin up mate. George
Every time, every time I hear this I cry. Ianmcgeachy says it so well. John's music trancends everything, this version of this song, with that guitar solo. its just stunning. Nothing else matters when you listen to him. Thank you for posting this. I still can't believe he has gone. God bless you John. God bless
Aye, that was John Martyn. And on this one, a powerful performance of one of his most powerful pieces of music. The guitar solo also at the end of this is one of his best ever on an electric. Notice too: even though he has his mate Alan Thomson and also Max Middleton onstage, he still seems somehow seems 'alone there' -he always does to me. But frankly, this seems more than just a 'performance'. Look at his face near the end...this blokes for real.
I was once utterly addicted to this song. just b4 splitting up my girlfriend we watched this 2gether and both had tears running down our faces - we knew what was coming and this is how it would feel.
Good stuff but his best was about 10 yrs earlier!
I know that will upset some, but his true friends would agree!

What a waste of a talent, what an incredible song, every ounce of his body is in it and u can feel it fibrate his hurt around your ears.
Incredible way of putting your heart into a song.
RIP big man.

I swear, when he says "Try to save it from breaking," he's about to break down into tears. I know I did.
